so the project i picked up yarn and needles for at loopy, friday night, was on and back off the needles in less than 24 hours.

it’s the foliage hat from fall 2007 knitty in malabrigo worsted, colorway is brisa.  hoping the recipient will like it, i’m certain it will look adorable on her.  stinkin’ cute, [...]

so i’m a step closer to starting those chevron mittens i talked about last week.  our knit-a-long officially started, today, but i only got as far as winding the balls.  i can’t believe that only ONE person chimed in with any thoughts on what order i should go in…

so at least i’ll have a project [...]

i’m trying to get my list of WIPs (works in progress, for the non-knitter) in order so i can focus on the holiday spinning, knitting, gifting, etc.  so here’s two stragglers that i finished this weekend. 
first is a shrug that was planned on the barter system.  i wore mine when i worked at [...]

so i’ve been to TWO not so local yarn shops in the last week!  woo!  and i can only show off some of my spoils ’cause it’s that time of year…  i made it home in time to catch the last bit of sunshine, today…  so you all get pics!  woo!
at cornerstone, a shop in [...]

i like books.  so i guess it makes a whole bunch of sense that i like books about knitting.

this is barely a dent in my library.  they’re all out because i decided last thursday that i better start thinking about gift knitting for the holidays…  uhhhh, you think?
so i’m sifting, i’m finding some promising choices.  [...]

ok, i’m not, but the chevron love mitten kit i got from ferol for my birthday is the spartacus colorway…

this is the best pic i can give of the colors at this time, what with it being all late and dark out, but i’ll try to get better ones in the daylight soon.
my dilemma is [...]

Here’s a fun little widget that shows all the socks I’ve completed in 2008!

They start from most recent and go in order of completion back to the first pair I finished in January. I’m a little obsessed. I’m not ashamed.
Lemme tell you a little more about the [...]

so here’s some fun things to share…
tonight i finished up my first pair of socks knit two at a time.  like both of them on one circular needle – row for row.  the joy of finishing them both at once and being able to slip the pair on my feet is pretty damn fun.  i’ll [...]

(yes, katy, i used that word – that way – just to honk you off!)
here, in no particular order and without much real fanfare, are the treats i received this Christmas as they pertain to my knitting obsession:

2008 knitting pattern a day calendar, a quick knit book and “knitting girl” mints. 

an adorable “i [...]

my first yarn purchase of the new year (i made it five whopping days!  woo!):

also, no one can ever say i’m not a big dork.
ok, so this is sarah the procrastinator.  i have at least two other things i should really be working on, tonight.  but i knit this hat in its entirety, this evening.  [...]
